Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams green beans
- 200 grams fresh corn kernels
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Trim the ends off the green beans and blanch them in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp and bright green.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the corn kernels and dry-toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
To prepare the vinaigrette, finely mince the garlic clove. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for enhanced flavor.
